Just to mention a different view to the theoretical Judeo-Christian concept of God. You have a different one to mine CC (no surprise). "The problem of the existence of evil" so described, is resolved when you read 'further' so to speak. Meaning when there is 'no more' existence of evil, that part is then ... the new Kingdom and Heaven bit.
I am sure that that makes you feel better about believing something nonsensical, but as it is itself nonsensical, it doesn’t actually get you out of the logic trap.
Feeling better about believing in something "nonsensical" as you put it, sort of suggests I have some underline hidden doubt in the concept of the theistic God, which is not the case. I suppose you could also term your idea above as "pretending", which does sound like a logic trap.
Your god cannot be good, and omnipotent, and omnicognisant. You can only escape from the PoE by abandoning at least one of these putative traits (although doing so just runs your god smack bang into further demonstrable evidence for its incompatibility with our knowledge of reality).
The concept of God is an incredible notion YES of course. It doesn't compute; being at odds with the everyday conventional life experience, but indeed as an atheist describes his or her take on what they think the concept is about, it certainly will be nonsensical, to be presented as some extreme sounding silliness.
The 'problem with evil' which
resides among human beings, depends on every individual's
willing participation adding to the whole, in scale. Stating the obvious:
free will, do what thou wilt selfishly, etc., etc. Causing extreme harm to your neihbour (not loving them as Jesus demands), whilst at the same time strangely, we are appalled by the atrocities - we say to ourselves
"we have better morals than God of the bible!" despite noting/ ignoring the instructions demanding "thall shalt not murder etc..", or the guidance like,
love your neihbour as yourself, or love your enemies!
To address your specific “solution”, we need only note that requiring suffering in a pre-“Kingdom and Heaven” subset of reality is needlessly cruel for an all knowing god with the ability to do something about it. It’s not sufficient that some, or even most, of existence be without suffering; To break the PoE, all of every single person’s existence must be pleasant. Evidence that this is not the case abounds, and requires only that you open your eyes.
The Bible has an explanation as to why evil came into the world. As believers (who agree) we accept the harsh world and we understand it won't last, it's a step to the next phase. The concept of the Biblical God being so simple to understand - Basically it says of YOUR own choosing and accord
: Dont take part, or be part of the PoE!!!
